So, as I’m sure you all know, I am an avid gamer. In fact, my personal motto is: Sleep is for those who have no internet connection. That was a joke. Ha ha. Anyway, people like me enjoy video games. We don’t care how bad our laundry smells, we don’t care how hungry we are, we are going to finish that level and there is nothing you can do to stop us. Nothing. Others of you may be calling us obsessed, but you obviously haven’t played the right game, or you’d be just like us. Sorry. Now, there are at least three reasons to be so monumentally addicted to these pixelated games. Let’s see ’em.

Reason Number One: Video games give you the ability to do things you just couldn’t do in real life. Like, you can’t go Grand Theft Auto for a day, you’d be arrested. You can’t build a castle single-handedly in real life, but you can in Minecraft. In fact, the reason video games are so addicting is because you can do literally anything you want.

Reason Number Two: Video games allow you to die without being killed in real life. Usually. Death in a video game is just a minor setback, as you can easily get back to where you were previously most of the time. Sometimes, along the way, you find something that you had missed before. Oh, yeah, and everyone knows you’ll just respawn.

Reason Number Three: Video games are fun. That’s why.

So, now you have two legitimate reasons to enjoy video games (and one nonsensical one) for your amusement. Now, when someone asks you why you like games so much, you can tell them. Or not, I don’t really care. But if you want to , you can refer to the first two reasons on this post, and maybe they’ll laugh long enough to let you finish your level.
